Morey finally made headlines again.

During this period, the popularity of the Rockets general manager has even surpassed the top league stars such as Kobe and LeBron James.

Of course, his appearance in the headlines is not majestic. He became popular in the United States because of his apology, and Morey would rather not make this headline.

After apologizing, Morey said that he would devote himself to the team's career and strive to make the Rockets' prospects better.

Nonsense, can he not want the Rockets to perform well? If the Rockets can only enter the playoffs as eighth place, they are most likely to meet the Grizzlies in the first round

For Morey, meeting the Grizzlies and Link was the last thing he wanted to happen.

Because he knew that Link would not give up. All his anger would be vented on the basketball court.

If the Rockets had poor grades, Alexander would have an excuse to fire Morey. Therefore, Morey is working not just for work, but for his job.

After Morey spoke, a reporter also found Link and asked if he was satisfied with Morey's apology.

Instead of answering yes or no, Link told reporters, "You have to ask Memphis fans whether they are satisfied, their views represent my views."

Invisibly, Link quietly attracted a wave of fans.

The grudge with Morey came to an end, and Link felt much more relaxed. Now, he can devote himself to the basketball game with all his heart.

As time enters March, the spring breeze has awakened the whole world. This also means that the fanatical summer day is getting closer and closer.

With only one month left before the start of the playoffs, Stevens also has to start preparing for the playoffs.

So on the 10th, in the training before the start of the Pelicans, Stevens did not let the players run tactics, but let everyone try many different combinations of different formations.

In the playoffs, in addition to comparing with the stars, they also compare who has more tricks.

Stevens has preset many attempts to match the lineup, and the purpose is naturally to hope that the team can handle any problems they encounter freely.

Speaking of lineup matching, Stevens began to think of the "small lineup". As a team with black and white bears, the small lineup does not seem to conform to the Grizzlies' tactics and philosophy.

But Stevens is aware that sometimes, carrying two towers may not be the best choice. Especially when it comes to a quick score, Gasol and Randolph will only slow down the overall pace of the team.

So, during training on the 10th, Stevens put his small lineup on the basketball court for the first time.

Point guard Conley, shooting guard Iguodala, small forward Link, power forward Harris, center Azeli.

Everyone, look at me, let me see you. This season is almost over, but this lineup has never played together.

"If I send this lineup to play, I hope you can play fast enough. Of course, I hope we can play steadily throughout the game without being forced to catch up quickly. From now on, guys, the playoff war has begun!"

Stevens didn't say anything alarmist, and a month was just a blink of an eye.

In the game against the Hornets that night, Stevens let his small lineup experiment for about two minutes. However, the experiment was not effective.

The bad news is mainly reflected in the defense. After getting taller, the Grizzlies' penalty area defense instantly became empty.

Azelley's defense is naturally not as good as Gasol, and Harris is not a pure frame protector.

The Hornets No. 1 pick Anthony Davis took the ball in the inside, and the score difference narrowed a lot.

At this point, the experiment ended, and the result was naturally in failure.

Stevens scratched his head. Although the Grizzlies' most threatening are the traditional lineup, they may not be able to use this small lineup.

But without everything being ready, Stevens always feels insecure.

In the face of the playoffs, you can't be lucky.

Although the Grizzlies finally defeated the Hornets, the performance of the Grizzlies' seven players in double digits was also very happy. However, Stevens was not satisfied.

His team is for the championship.

The backyard of Link's villa is next to the lake, which is the main reason why he chose this villa at the beginning.

On the edge of the lake, it has turned into a vibrant green. The breath of spring is not very sensible in downtown Memphis, but in this scary greening community where Link lives, the flavor of spring is very strong.

Randolph and Link were fiddling with the boat in the backyard. The two guys were preparing to take advantage of the vitality of spring to go down the lake to fish.

"Link, you fucking hard!" Randolph sat on the bed, holding the oar in a pretty good manner.

"Fuck, don't you know how much you are? Why didn't you sit on it? You pushed me on the shore!" Link was speechless, Randolph could really sit down.

"Hehe, I'm old. Of course, I have to leave this kind of physical work to a young man like you."

After saying that, Link pushed the boat away from the shore. Randolph hurried to the stern and pulled Link up.

The boat swayed and headed towards the middle of the lake.

The boat Link bought was actually very large, but it still felt crowded when sitting on it with Randolph.

There is no way, who made Link and Randolph bigger than ordinary people?

After the two arrived at the center of the lake, they threw the fishing rod down. This place is no longer than the Mississippi River, and it takes longer to wait for the fish to take the bait.

So, while sitting on the boat waiting for the movement of the fishing rod, Link and Randolph also chatted without a word.

"Do you think Brad is a little too tense recently?" Link felt tired when he remembered Stevens's picture of writing and painting on the training ground.

"It's okay, after all, what he needs to create is a brand new system. Because the past two years have proved that we follow the old way," Randolph paused, but finally said that sentence, "It's hard for us to rush out of the west according to the old way."

"Haha, I thought you were all fishing." Link didn't expect Randolph to discuss it with him so seriously.

"Tsk, don't forget, I'm the second-rate Grizzlies. But I think we shouldn't be busy focusing on the playoffs now. It's only a month since the end of the regular season. All teams are starting to fight for their ideal rankings. Especially those teams in the top eight back ends, they don't care who their opponents are now. No matter who they are, they will fight to the end."

"Didn't we do this before? Speaking of which, our opponents in recent games seem to be from the top eight back ends. Damn it. I'm busy again during this period."

After Link finished speaking, his fishing rod reacted. Link quickly stood up, loosening the line and consuming the fish's physical strength. When it could not swim, Link closed the rod.

I don’t know if I don’t close the pole, but this time Link made a big one!

"The struggle is so great. This catfish must be five pounds!" Link looked at his spoils and gasped.

"But you finally got it done. No matter how hard it struggles, Te can never defeat you who are stronger than it."

"Okay, Zach, just say what you have." Link gave Randolph a glance. His metaphor was so bad.

"Hehe, I mean. No matter how hard the teams in the top eight back ends struggle, they can't challenge our position."

"That's not necessarily true, Zach," Link curled his lips, "After all, if you're anxious, you'll attack people."
